Teaching my girls to honor their bodies and trust how God made them feels more important than ever right now 🙏💪💖

Our daughters are watching.
They hear how we talk about our bodies.
They notice how we approach food, movement, and “quick fixes.”
They’re learning what we believe is worthy of praise — and what isn’t.

I want my girls to grow up knowing their bodies aren’t problems to solve or projects to shrink, but gifts to steward with care, strength, and gratitude.

If you’re a mom, this isn’t about perfection — it’s about awareness.

Pausing before we speak.
Choosing language that builds, not breaks.
Modeling a relationship with our bodies rooted in respect, not fear.

Strong bodies. Steady faith.
That’s the legacy I want to pass down 🙏💪💖

Flashback to 2016⚡️

Single, pre-kids, living in Philly.

About a year into my business after leaving the corporate world.

Teaching barre, yoga, Pilates, and training clients from early mornings to late nights — building something meaningful.

My Instagram was basically yoga poses, inspirational quotes, green juice, protein shakes, and salads (to the point I was literally a VIP 😅).

Grateful for all the living and learning that season held — and for how it shaped both me and the business I have today. 🙏💖✨

This is your sign to slow down 🌙

I’ve been loving NEW Dream Bio-Retinol Body Serum as part of my nighttime routine. It’s a dreamy bedtime body serum powered by algae-derived bio-retinol and red seaweed to visibly firm, smooth, and boost radiance — while magnesium soothes and lavender helps promote a sense of serenity for a truly restful night.

Skin benefits:
✨Visibly firms
✨ Improves elasticity
✨ Smooths the look of lines & wrinkles
✨ Less potential for irritation (vs. retinol)

Results you can see*:
✨ After 1 use: 100% showed an increase in hydration
✨ After 1 week: 90% agreed it soothed their skin as they slept
✨ After 4 weeks: 100% showed improvement in skin firmness
✨ After 4 weeks: 83% showed visible improvement in fine lines & wrinkles

If your feed and inbox are suddenly full of GLP-1 ads and weight-loss offers, this is why.

Influencers are being offered free GLP-1 medication in exchange for affiliate links — often without medical history, labs, or real screening.

In my case, it would be to take me from a size 4 to a size 0 — and that is not healthy. That’s crazy.

And if this kind of medication is being casually offered to me, it’s a reminder of how aggressive and misleading weight-loss marketing has become — especially this time of year.

GLP-1s can be appropriate for some people with proper medical oversight. But prescription medications shouldn’t be marketed like leggings or supplements, or promoted by influencers who are paid to sell them.

This applies to all of us: if someone profits from selling you “health,” pause. Healthcare should never be commission-based.

And this is just one piece of a much bigger problem with how GLP-1s are being used and marketed (more to come) 🤯

If your feed feels louder than usual about weight loss right now, you’re not imagining it.

January always brings pressure to “get smaller.”
This year, that pressure feels amplified by GLP-1 content.

I want to be clear and careful here:

GLP-1 medications can be appropriate and life-changing for some people. This isn’t about judgment or medical advice.

But seeing already-healthy bodies frame taking GLP-1s as “getting healthier” can quietly mess with your head — especially when the body on the screen looks a lot like your own.

If this season is making you second-guess your body, you’re not alone.

Your body is not a problem just because trends changed.

Health isn’t a size.

And it isn’t a race to be smaller.

You don’t need to chase trends to care for your health.
Pause before you pressure your body this year.

GVL moms with Gabby’s Dollhouse fans — this one’s worth the drive 😻

We visited the immersive Gabby’s Dollhouse experience .charlotte, and it’s only about 1.5 hrs from Greenville.

Interactive rooms, hands-on play, dancing, and photo moments with Gabby — my kids were obsessed.

We also did the optional slime-making add-on, and it was such a hit. The staff was incredible — so patient, engaging, and great with kids, which made the whole experience feel easy and fun.

Not sponsored — just sharing a great day trip idea.

✨ Send this to someone you’d plan this trip with or DM me for tips on where to eat & stay nearby ✨

If you’re shopping for your kids this holiday and want something that’s both beautiful and easy to assemble, truly has it covered 🎁

The Play Fridge took me under five minutes to put together — no tools, no frustration, no late-night toy assembly. And that’s exactly why I love Lalo. Everything is thoughtfully designed, looks great in your home, and is actually realistic for busy parents.

This is just one example — they make toys, tents, tables, high chairs, and more, and it’s all equally easy to assemble.

Use my code MOTIONMELISSA for the best deal, or comment LALO and I’ll send you the direct link to shop all of my faves 💌🎁❤️
